Better Pain Free: Managing Kidney Stones

In this episode we discuss kidney stones, a very painful condition that affects 1 out of 11 people at some point in their lives. But what causes kidney stones? Can we do anything to prevent getting them? How do we know if we have them?  And when we do get them, what do we do? To answer these questions and many more we turned to a true expert.  Dr. Margaret Knoedler is an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. She received her medical degree at Tulane University School of Medicine and subsequently completed her urologic residency training at University of Wisconsin. She then went on to obtain an endourology fellowship at the University of Wisconsin under the guidance of Dr. Stephen Nakada. Her clinical interests include complex stone disease, benign prostatic hyperplasia with specialized training in holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP), and robotic surgery.
